FF-FFX-2 playthrough log.

Heroic Palmer | Posted 10/27/2006 12:24:08 PM | message detail | #051
FINALLY! I got the CROWN. However those damn wizards killed 2 of my people and im almost out of heal potions. Its going to take a miracle for me to leave this place with my life.

1-4, MQ, 5-7, Tactics, 8-X-2, CC, then get XII

I just might do it in that order. Im guessing MQ came out after FF4, Tactics after FF7, and CC after X-2.

I have mute :D
Unfortunately i have to get the crown ALL OVER AGAIN!
Stuck in another infinite stun loop with my fighter -_-
I'll update the topic after i beat this place without dying :(

Ok got the CROWN with my whole party intact. In fact no one died as i was exiting the cave. The game is a lot easier if you skip all treasure chests -_-

Anyways just used a tent and im taking a break for now. My computer is lagging quite badly, so much so i had to quit. Checking out the problem now.

I returned the CROWN to the person who wanted it. Turns out it was an evil King who has the crystal ive been looking for. That means one thing: BOSS BATTLE!

I died. It is a physical resistant boss and mute was not working. He easily wiped out my party with Lit2 and Fire2 and Rub/Instant Death spells. It might take awhile to defeat him.

Hooray! Didnt take as long as expected. Muted him on the first round, got a bunch of critical hits from my black belt. The evil King of the Elves is finished. Now i need to figure out what to do next i have a pretty good idea though.

Boy do i make things infinitely hard for myself. Unless i didn't realize it i could have bought new armor and weapons in the town of the sleeping prince before i went for the crown -_-

Well i give the evil King the CROWN, got a CRYSTAL to give to the witch, and now i have the HERB for the sleeping prince. Sounds like Zelda games all over again lol.

For some reason it took me about an hour to realize the different between towns and castles. I didn't know that the Prince's castle had a town and vice versa -_-

Well i finally awoke the prince and he gave me the mystic key. For some reason i thought i would have gotten this way later in the game considering how many doors were locked by it (Kind of like Chrono Trigger and those chests). Well im about to take a shower but afterwards i have a lot of backtracking to do.

I was inquiring about one thing though, are bracelets necessary better than armor? I gave my fighter a copper bracelet and replaced his iron armor, however, he took way more damage from attacks. Yet, my other characters with bracelets seem to take less damage overall except against certain enemies. Just wondering if anyone knew about this.

This game is becoming quite fun again :D

My progress so far:

I believe i have finally opened all the doors locked by the Mystic Key, in doing so i found many new equips and the TNT i needed to continue on my adventure. My fighter is doing wonderfully with the Silver Sword, my thief can now attack twice with his Rune Sword and has a pretty decent defense now that he had the Silver Bracelet, my white mage is still pretty meh but at least he has a new weapon in the Power Staff, and my black belt can now attack 4 times.

A couple of problems though. I sold my Silver Sword and my Silver Dagger because i found weapons that were more expensive than they so i figured the more expensive the item the better it is. I hope that is a pretty good assumption. Also i might have missed some mystic doors in the cave south of the evil king. Hopefully there are only 4 because i really don't like going back to that place.

When i continue ill be going to the dwarf town to use the TNT.

Holy **** Lvl 5 spelsl are expensive -_-
So is that Steel Armor o.O
Well im going to make about 70K gold so i can afford this stuff then im off to bed.
Btw im in the town where people are talking about the Earth Orb. Im guessing each orb has a dungeon. Im wondering about far i am in the game.

Yeah no black mage but i seem to be pretty good without it. Finally finished making the money for 3 lvl 5 spells and the Steel Armor. Right now im in the Earth Cave.

lol, i saw an entire ff collection on ebay going for $1000 starting bid, kinda freaked me out, but I WANT IT, IT HAS ERGHIEZ IN IT

i think i spelled that right, and sorry to get off topic there
---
I didn't do it...
TorkoalKiller | Posted 10/29/2006 2:46:13 PM | message detail | #070
^^^^^ Its ok. I would like to own the whole collection as well.

Well i finished as much as i could in the Earth Cave. There was a block blocking a set of stairs. It said something about a evil aura. I remembered someone said something about the lute having something to do with evil so i played it. Nothing happened :(

Anyway i got the RUBY that was in the cave. I know some guy is looking for it so im off to look for him.

Found a new town and bought lvl 6 white mage spells. However my white mage couldnt learn EXIT -_-

I need that spell so badly! Still haven't found out where to go next. Someone mentioned something ruins up north but i didn't find anything up there because there was no place for my ship to land. I've been doing good so far so i hope i dont get stuck now!

IIRC you should be in Crescent Lake now, right? Well search the village for the elders, they'll tell you stuff and one of them gives you a canoe. Then you have to canoe around randomly to get to either the Volcano or the Ice Cave.

Unless you love lots and lots of random fights (which as a power leveller you just might) you should use the canoe whenever possible. You get into a loss less battles travelling through water than travelling over ground.

TorkoalKiller | Posted 10/29/2006 7:50:16 PM | message detail | #076
I am so pissed. I found Crescent Lake, a place where i bought new armor and spells, then left the town confused. I had no idea what to do next because I could have sworn I was suppose to find something somewhere so I could continue with the game. I ended up almost going to every town and dungeon over again. I had to use a FAQ, which i hate doing before i beat a game, to find out what to do next. I have no idea why or how iImake the game so hard on myself.

Well talked to the sages and got the canoe thanks to the FAQ :(
I swear i don't know how i do this to myself. I continue tomorrow ive played for about 12 hours today.

You can actually skip the volcano and come back to it. Can take your canoe south and get to the cave that leads to the Airship

Yeah its kind of nice <3
Deathchicken thanks for the advice. Hopefully getting the airship earlier than expected will allow me into the other two towns so i can buy some better armor. Having trolls and pede as normal enemies on the world map is not pleasing.

Today i plan on reviving the rest of the orbs, and tomorrow hopefully i can beat the game if the game doesn't continue much after the revival of the orbs.

Right now im in a cave in which plays peaceful music but mobs of enemies attack you at a time (usually 7-9). Had to restart it though sorcerers seem to kill people automatically after using trance -_-

Well i found out that i was in the Ice Cave which yields quite a few things (Flame Sword which i got but died, Ice protection equips, and the Floater). I dont really feel like playing today though ill probably continue tomorrow. I think i played too much yesterday o.O

Apparently 40 heal pots is no where near enough for this place so im about to buy more.
I hope i can do this tonight.

Oh trust me i run every opportunity i get. I got pretty far into the cave in my last attempt but someone died and i accidently exited the cave instead of falling down a floor. This game just has too much trial and error for my taste but overall ive still enjoyed it enough to continue.

OH THANK THE VIDEO GAME GODS! I FINALLY DID IT <33333333333.
Its like the game sensed my frustration and allowed no mage fights, no petrification, and easily escapable battles. Got the floater and tomorrow ill find the airship.

Had to check a FAQ to find the airship. Seriously i never would have found it without one. Then again is was about the only place on the map i havent been yet that i now had access to....

Anyways right now im in the town of Gaia trying to buy Gold Bracelets and lvl 7 White Mage Spells that i can't even use yet.

Btw am i able to do the job advancement side quest yet?

I believe you can do the class changes now that you have the airship. First go to the Castle of Ordeals in the northern continent to get the proof, and then go find Bahamut on one of those islands with caves on them.

I haven't played the original FF in quite a while but I think part of your problem is that you seem to be playing the game out of the intended order. If you have to rely on FAQs then you probably are doing something you shouldn't be.

I'm not 100% sure though.

Oh im not using a FAQ that much. Only when i am truly stuck and get too impatient for a response. Im only going to the volcano next because that is something DeathChicken and the Sages mentioned. I truly want to go for the class change first but first i need to buy some more pro rings and lvl7 spells.

Btw ill start playing again soon and ill update the topic when i am finally able to afford everything in Gaia.

Somehow i warped what you said into someting completely different. Yes i do make this game wayyy harder than it was suppose to be. First off i have a party w/o a red or black mage. Secondly i get confused/frustated quite easily. Thirdly (if that is a word) im taking the advice of people whom have seemingly played the game and know it well. Trust me i am most definitely going to replay this game in the future and i will do it in the intended order for ease and enjoyment.

Just beat the volcano. Question, was i suppose to do the volcano before the ice cave? The volcano was longer than the ice cave tremendously. Like I said this game is too much trial and error, has almost no direction, but still a good mix of fun and challenge.

Next thing i did while playing the game was to look for places now accessing by the airship/canoe. I ended up going into a Waterfall Cave. Found a ribbon, defense sword, and a cube. I was really hoping that this place would help me discover how to advance in jobs. Oh well next destination.

P.S: Warrior is now hitting 4 times, Thief is hitting 3, and Black Belt 6 o.O
Did black belts hit up to 6 times in FFIII? Because i didnt get far enough in that to find out.

I used the AIRSHIP to explore the numerous island cave. Inside of them i found various items/dragon and even met Bahamut himself (didn't except to see him in this game). Someone mentioned something about the Castle of Ordeals in the northwest so that was my next location

I arrived there after realizing i could have come here much sooner. All i needed was the ship and canoe but oh well in i went. Nice little puzzle the Castle of Ordeals is. Memorization was the key and it wasnt at all hard. I found the tail of a rat which was the proof of the hero Bahamut was looking.

Went back to Bahamut and gave him the tail. Hooray! I finally got my job advancement! Well now im going back to old towns to buy things i couldnt before.
